What Lies Ahead Part 3, Chapter 35
At ELQ, Skye and Hayden were working together. Skye was impressed by how smart Hayden was. "So, you and Tracy are close?" she asked. "Yes, we became close when I was here last time. So, she your mother?" "Yes, it's complicated." "Most families are," Skye replied as she looked for a file. "Can I help you find something?" "I must have left that file at home. I was working on it at the mansion, so I'll go get it." "I can just finish up here." "Why don't you set up your office? I'll show you how." "Alright."
Gabriella was in her bedroom listening to loud music and opening her package of clothes for the store. She was keeping a secret about the store from her family.
The doorbell rang. The maid opened it to find Lorenzo. "Mr. Alcazar," he said. "I would like to see my daughters." He entered. "Lila Rae wasn't here, but Gabriella was." "I can hear my daughter's music. I'll go up to her room." "Alright, just follow the music," the maid said. Lorenzo went upstairs.
In Gabriella's room, she was in a sexy outfit, looking at herself in the mirror. Lorenzo knocked, and Gabriella opened the door. "Daddy, why are you here?" "I want to see you. Can you turn your music down?" Lorenzo asked. Gabriella turned her music down. "Gabriella, you know you live in a house with many family members. You can't blast your music." "No one is home except me," she replied. "Is that your new outfit?" "It's for the store. I was just trying it on." "Oh, why don't you change, and we can go out to lunch? I'll call Lila Rae." She was at the studio and wouldn't answer. "Then it will just be us." "Alright, I'll change." "I'll be downstairs," Lorenzo said as he went downstairs.
Skye was in the living room looking for the file when Lorenzo came in. She looked at him; she still loved him but knew she couldn't be with him anymore. "Lorenzo, why are you here?" she asked. "I'm waiting for Gabriella. We are going to have lunch together." "Oh, Lorenzo, be honest with me." "On what?" she responded. "You are still in the mob. You never left," Skye said. "Yes, you're right," Lorenzo admitted, as Gabriella came in and saw the spark between her parents. She wished they would just admit they loved each other.
"Gabriella, I'm glad you're ready. Let's go," Lorenzo said. "Mother, do you want to come?" "No, I have to go back to work. Gabriella, are you going to the store today?" "Yes, I am." "Good, I want an update later on your finances." "Yes, Mother." "Have fun." "Daddy, where are we going?" she asked. "We could go to the coffee shop," Lorenzo suggested. "Why don't you go to Olivia's restaurant?" Skye asked. "Yes," Gabriella agreed. "Alright, let's go," Lorenzo said. They left.
